Residents in St. Louis, brace yourselves—a bout of turbulent weather is sweeping your way. The National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis issued a report stating that the city would experience showers and thunderstorms before 2 p.m today, followed by a slight chance of more showers between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., with a high peak near 63 degrees Fahrenheit; be aware that southeast winds might escalate to gusts of up to 32 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Following today's deluge, the clouds should begin to disperse, leaving a clear night with lows skirting the 42-degree mark; winds will not be as fierce but could still reach 24 mph gusts. As we move into the week, the city will see an increase in clouds on Monday with highs mirroring today's, albeit with less tempestuous winds, yet Tuesday sweetens the pot with mostly sunny skies and a warmer embrace climbing up to 68 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service.
However, the National Weather Service cautions that this weather will be a mixed bag—while Monday night maintains only a 20 percent chance of showers before 1 a.m, there's a dicey forecast looming later in the week that suggests possible thunderstorms from Thursday through to Saturday, with the culminating days of the week heating up the thermostat to near 80-degree highs, yet at times offer a potential 60 percent chance of precipitation—these mixed conditions underscore the erratic nature that characterizes Missouri's springtime.
